FDMEE - The future of Hyperion Integrations

FDMEE stands for Financial Data Quality Management, Enterprise Edition, introduced in the latest EPM release, 11.1.2.3. It is the latest version of Oracle's Financial Data Quality Management. It is a data integration tool majorly used for integrating financial data.

It is one of the favorite tools for business users and administrators because of its user friendly web interface and audit capabilities. A major advantage of using this tool is the drill through capability to Oracle GL and various other source systems which includes Oracle Fusion Financials, PeopleSoft, SAP ERP Financial to name few. This tool is a seamless integration of ERPi and FDM. It is based on the ODI engine with the FDM workflow. The tool was released in a phased approach and targets to cover all the FDM functionalities by the end of last patch.

I would like to introduce the functionalities of this application based on our implementation experience in this blog.

The basic release of FDMEE covered the below mentioned functionalities:

1.Core FDM features

2.FDM Workflow - Import, Validate, Export and Check

3.Partial HFM adapter parity - Data Protection and Line item details

4.Drill through to source

5.Open Batch Loader

6.Reports

7.Process Monitor

In addition to above mentioned functionalities, following features are added to core FDM features in FDMEE:

Apart from these changes following features have been excluded from FDMEE:

1.Tax adapter

2.Enterprise adapter

3.Currencies in Control Tables

I will follow up with some more details on the above mentioned functionalities where I will use our implementation experience to call out some items you might want to watch out for while designing EPM landscape which leverages FDMEE for integrations and data quality management purposes.

Currently features like flexibilty in automation, scheduling and tablespace access are missing in FDMEE. We have the new version available now with great enhancements.
My next blog will cover some of those functionalities.
